Made this account in 2005 looking for info on Apisto breeding. Since then I have moved and water parameters are wonky so I was hoping to get experienced suggestions.
PH 6.5 out of tap - 7.6 after gassing off 24hrs.
GH 0
KH 2
My LFS is PH 7.4 with GH 4 and KH 4
With that said I had issues acclimating fish from anyone online and LFS even with dripping. So I have resorted to using dry ferts/chemicals to raise my GH and KH. I keep planted tanks so I had them anyway. After using them for close to a year now I find it a serious pain to do with them every week. I went from squirting a premix into a 75G every 3-4 weeks for a planted tank to dosing a water change bucket twice a week using a food scale and measuring 2 powders.
CaSO4.2H2O - 9.76 grams
MgSO4.7H2O - 7.68 grams
results in GH 4 / KH 2 / PH 7.6
So I want to setup more tanks, a lot more tanks, with a lot more apistos, Is it possible to do this without the boosters? Is it possible to make it easier?
Appreciate the time everyone, so glad this forum is still around in 2020
